[PATCH 6.18 125/333] KVM: arm64: pkvm: Fallback to level-3 mapping on host stage-2 fault

From: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>

commit 8531d5a83d8eb8affb5c0249b466c28d94192603 upstream.

If, for any odd reason, we cannot converge to mapping size that is
completely contained in a memblock region, we fail to install a S2
mapping and go back to the faulting instruction. Rince, repeat.

This happens when faulting in regions that are smaller than a page
or that do not have PAGE_SIZE-aligned boundaries (as witnessed on
an O6 board that refuses to boot in protected mode).

In this situation, fallback to using a PAGE_SIZE mapping anyway --
it isn't like we can go any lower.
